The conical heads 1 and 13 hold the the slots or notches2 in the head land these hearing from longitudinal movement, and it alining notches are adapted to receive thereis, merely necessary to turn the bearing in blades 10, best shown by Figure 1 of the around the tool in order that the Babbitt drawings. Each of the blades has on its inner metal lining on the bore thereof may be easily face and adjacent to-its ends an angle extenand quickly scraped. The hearing may be sion 11 to be received in the V-shaped notches quickly disassociated from the device by 7 of the holder 6. When the blade holder is merely removing the lock nut, the spacer arrangedin the socket 5 of the head 1 and the washers, head 13, blades and blade holder blades are positioned in the head and holder from the fixed head 1.

the bushing is held from longitudinal move .7

the bearing 12 to be scraped is arranged over The simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art to which the invention relates but obviously I do not wish to be restricted to the precise structure herein set forth and, therefore, hold myself entitled to make such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scope of what I claim.

Having described the invention, I claim:

In a bearing scraper, a slotted cone-shaped head having a squared face provlded with an extension designed to be gripped between the jaws of a vise and having a rounded-bore entering from its outer end, an elongated spindle extending from the head and provided with slots for the major portion of its length which register with the slots in the head, a longitudinally grooved blade holder received in the bushing and in the bore of the head and having annular ,V-shaped notches adjacent the ends thereof, blades received in the grooves of the blade holder and passing through the notches in the bushing and head, each of said blades having a V-shaped projection to be received in the V-shaped portions of the blade holder, said blades designed to receive thereover a bearing to be scraped and which bearing is designed to contact with the conical head, a second conical head which is notched from its bore arranged over the bushing, contacting with the second end of the bearing and receiving the blades therethrough, spacer washers contacting the outer face of said conical member, a lock nut screwed on the threaded end of the bushing and contacting with the spacer washers and means held from longitudinal movement but revoluble through the threaded end of the spindle and coengaging with the end of the blade holder adjacentthereto for imparting longitudinal movement to the blade holder.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
